Boston Properties and Delaware North Wednesday officially launched construction of a massive new complex on Causeway Street in front of TD Garden and North Station. Dubbed, "The Hub on Causeway," the first phase of the complex underway will include a new grocery store from Star Market, a 15-screen movie theater from ArcLight Cinema, office space, and underground parking.

The first phase is to open in late 2018.

Additional phases would bring a 38-story residential tower, and two shorter towers for offices and a hotel.

The developers are also building a new entrance to North Station as well as an underground connection between the train and subway stations.
